I have had a drop-in liner in my old F-150 for a dozen years and loved
it. Now I need to protect my new Tundra bed.
Has anyone here used Herculiner? It's a $100 roll-on kit of
polyurethane and rubber granules for texture. Sounds good.
I'm not willing to pay $300 for a fancy liner or expensive spray-in by
a professional. What other options does a cheapa&H&H&H&H&H&Hfrugal
guy like me have?
TIA

I've not used it personally, but I've read a few reviews and all were
good. Your other option would probably be a bed coating that Duplicolor
makes, though I haven't seen any reviews on it.
What is wrong with spending $300 to protect a new truck that costs 100X
that? Do you also not want to spend the $100 on a set of factory service
manuals (or CDs) too? I order the service manuals at the same time I
order the truck, and by the time the truck arrives I know every detail
of it.

Please log in for more thread options back in the day, before double walled truck beds, I built plywood side and
floor protectors. Of course, that was a lot of years ago...
My parents, bought their first truck about 15 years ago. It has a bed liner
in it. Mom keeps a blanket behind the set, so she can carry loads in the bed
and not scratch the bed liner... I double over laughing everytime she pulls
the blanket out..... But, there are not scratches in the bed liner!!!!!

i used SEM tintable spray on urethane bed liner. sprayed on with a schutz
gun. it's ok, i like it, but i think a slippery liner is better. this one
is a kinda rubbery urethane non-slip liner. after using is for a while i
came to think a HARD slippery coating would probably be better than a
rubbery non-slip coating. (so you can push two pallet loads into the bed,
and pull them back out. once i put a pallet in back and there was a nail
sticking out of the pallet, it slashed the rubbery liner, i wondered if
there was a HARD slippery liner if the nail woulda just skidded across the
surface w/o cutting it.) i think it was about $150 for the kit. you can
get a pint of color matched paint and mix it in to match the color of your
truck, so you don't have to settle for black if you don't want to.
b.w.

Thinking more deeply about it, I prefer a slippery bed, too, but not
for pallet loads. I have a LoadHandler and would need to buy a $70
slippery bed mat for that if I used it with a rubbery bed liner.
Hmmm, the plot thickens...
I was happy with a plastic drop-in before, and probably will be again.
